Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig, and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on KZbin, such as: +Casey Neistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that KZbin’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

[@anitawalk]

The positive spin? In two years of staying in the lounge until the very last second and always barely making your flight, only one missed flight is a freaking miracle.

[@hermanlai6035]

yeah I agree

[@garrycole9187]

Also, at least it was in the U.S. and not some place like Bangladesh.

[@bildahome]

Were is you're postive attitude Miss ???

[@scarletfluerr]

It was bound to happen, they push it every time. The positive take away...you learned to get to your gate 10 minutes sooner.

[@johnp139]

Cool initials

[@favoriteemail]

OMG, I had almost the exact same experience several years ago. I missed my flight out of CLT while sitting in Starbucks. That Starbucks must be a vortex for flight delays 🤣 ! In my case, I had set my laptop's time to central time as I had been working with a client in CST that week. I sat down in Starbucks, opened the laptop to work and thought, 'oh, I have PLENTY of time!'. Fortunately, it was the middle of the afternoon with a few more half-empty flights going to my destination. Once I realized I had missed my flight, I sheepishly approached the US Airways customer service desk (back when US Air existed), and asked if they could get me on another flight. Because of my status, they accommodated me without any additional charge. Travel tip - never be afraid to ask for help and always reset your time zones before traveling!

[@sactiger2817]

Another positive: even when Kara is tired and irritated, she still looks gorgeous!

[@micahculpepper8086]

I fully blame this channel for me gaining weight. I’ve binged watched so many of y’all’s videos and I’ve never been more hungry.

[@sarahmartinez8732]

Every time I watch their videos I go search for food....

[@HeathrowFlyerTakeoff]

Lucky you about the Standby! Here in Europe if we miss our flight then that it is, we have to buy new tickets...

[@leslier.1236]

The problem with standby is that if the flights overbook (which they usually do) they could be there literally all day waiting to get on a flight. They can only get on a plane if they have two seats open. Standby can suck!

[@rubydenson7611]

I just love the end of the vid where Nate is all like “ I told you not to talk if you were going to be negative “ then rewatching the entire part in the Charlotte airport and Kara not saying a word , cracked me up . I love you guys ❤️❤️

[@Emm950]

Nate loves Kara so much it's cute! It reminded me of when I'm upset my husband tries to cheer me up sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't lol Glad you guys made it home safe and sound :)

I freaking love these 2... They show the really great and the aggravating side of traveling, they are super real and I fully enjoy watching their travels. Watching them on their van life tour it has prompted me to want to take my son and do this. Thank you for all you guys do \o/.

[@bobnease2]

Nice work!! You two make dealing with travel hiccups look easy. Thanks for showing us all what optimism and teamwork look like up close!!!

[@briyawnuh]

You were probably first on the standby list because you two were revenue passengers. Everyone else was probably standby through airline benefits. They don't pay for their seats. But since you did pay, you got the seats!

[@aktraveler831]

Totally accurate! :)

[@victort.4798]

Also since you were on the list from the night before

[@chaoschronicles225]

[@haileyheavens]

Glad you guys got out! My moms a flight attendant so I fly standby all the time.. its not fun. I was just at LAX and with all the cancellations on the east coast everyone was just trying to get everywhere, I was the last person to get a seat on standby thankfully on the red-eye home to Chicago. My favorite part about standby is going to the airport and not getting on at all and going home or getting a hotel.

No worries on missing a flight. It's amazing that this was your first.

[@itsnotme07]

Ok, I'm a few years late here....we all miss our flight at some point. My first time missing my flight happened due to a snowstorm in Boston in January 1991, I got to Dallas 2 hours late...so Delta hooked me up with a flight on American and I got to Portland, OR at 2 am Pacific...or 5 am Eastern. Almost 22 hours after I was scheduled to leave Boston, but didn't until 4 pm Eastern. Anyways...it happens. last time for me was in Atlanta...on a puddle jump to Asheville, NC in 2003....this one was all Delta....and they KNEW I was late because of them from Dallas. Didn't matter...I watched my plane pull away from the gate in Atlanta. Then I walked over to the customer service desk and made them pay for my rental car. Drove to Asheville (had lunch at the Varsity on the way). Got there 2 hours earlier than if I had waited for the next flight (which would have been standby). Yeah...we all have stories. LOL I have a few more of course...but I won't drop that here.

[@katielehrer8989]

Because they had a layover in charlotte and thats where they missed the flight

[@ines_uk]

Oh I know the feeling! I once missed the flight, too, for exact same reason. I sat too long in a cafe and thought I have enough time to go through security etc. But it took much longer that time and I missed by a min. Had to to pay a fee and take the next flight which was next morning.. At least I got to go home and didn’t have to sleep in the airport. The bright side in your situation might be that you didn’t miss the first two fights. Coz that would mean you probably miss the following flights as well.. Which would have been a bigger mess to deal with. ;) I like how you try to stay positive in every situation. 👍

That was really interesting. It was good to see what happens when you fly standby. Also CLT is not a favorite airport of mine or my friends. It sucks you couldn't try to stay with someone that night. But you got home!! Still traveling can be tough sometimes. I really appreciate these videos a lot as someone who also travels a lot. It's like nice to see all the things that can happen. But I hope this was one of those never again situations!

[@dionysus122]

First time ever flying standby in 2 years of traveling?!? That in itself is amazing! Flying standby makes you experience the widest range of emotion ever (see in this video) because you are nervous about the uncertainty of when you will fly out, but when your name is called you are washed in a wave of happiness and joy as you walk onto the plane.

Check out your neighbours next door some time.

[@SydneyDiva]

You must have been the only 2 full commercial passengers on standby - the others probably airline staff. It's so exciting to travel 'standby' - you just never know which flight you'll end up on or which country you'll go via to get home when desperate eg. Honolulu - Tokyo to get to Sydney. Gotta love that!

[@charlieredleg1582]

K&N little tip about standby travel coming from an American Airlines employee......at a hub (CLT MIA PHL PHX DFW ORD LAX JFK LGA) always go to the gate for stand by regardless what the passenger count is.....its a hub, sometimes connection flights are late coming in and that opens seats on outbound flights.....I fly non-rev stand by all the time......

In regards to where you hold your spot for stand by is based off of the time stamp (original time you checked in). The people behind you on the list could had been airline employees waiting for a seat and you get first priority.

[@cristyclark5933]

I missed my first flight ever in 20 years of traveling last year by doing the same thing. Confusing the take off time with the boarding time, sitting at a Starbucks catching up on work emails. It was my third and last flight coming back from Chile, so I blamed it on jet lag. United put me on the next flight with a seat, but the next flight wasn't full. I have the lowest status with United, so I think that helped. I hope I never have to know first hand how standby works, as it's a horrible feeling knowing that you caused your own delay home! Happy New Year! P.S. I really enjoy your vlogs!
